Westen is ten years old. He sat with me at our campsite this morning before anyone else got up. We talked generally about what “philosophy” was and I threw out some examples of big questions as I used a dictionary app to make sure I got my terms right.
He came to my bed this evening with his own big questions and big tears in his eyes. He wanted to know why humans were put on Earth. It wasn’t the only thing bothering him. We had an active weekend with some intense moments. He got to see the best and worst of my parenting. I’m sure he was wondering why some humans are taken away sooner than others too.
God bless and thank you for reading,
